"i vibe coded a thing to play video games for me"

i enjoy playing video games my own self. separately, i enjoy writing code for video games. i don't need ai for either of these things.

Yeah, but can you use your enjoyment of video games as marketing material to justify a $32B valuation?

I actually think it would be pretty fun to code something to play video games for me, it has a lot of overlap with robotics. Separately, I learned about assembly from cheat engine when I was a kid.

That’s not the point of this. This was an exercise to measure the strengths and weaknesses of current LLMs in operating a company and managing operations, and the video game was just the simulation engine.

That's fine. Tool-assisted speedruns long predate LLMs and they're boring as hell: https://youtu.be/W-MrhVPEqRo

It's still a neat perspective on how to optimize for super-specific constraints.

    You and I have _very_ different definitions for the word boring. A lot of effort goes into TAS runs.

You do you. I find this exceedingly cool and I think it's a fun new thing to do.

It's kind of like how people started watching Let's Plays and that turned into Twitch.

One of the coolest things recently is VTubers in mocap suits using AI performers to do single person improv performances with. It's wild and cool as hell. A single performer creating a vast fantasy world full of characters.

LLMs and agents playing Pokemon and StarCraft? Also a ton of fun.

  • This is the dumbest, most AI-laden nonsense I've read today.

    I'm glad I have cancer and don't have long left with idiots like you praising regurgitative garbage. There is nothing left for humanity with your non-existent imagination and attention span. Just watch TikTok and drink slug, "human"

    • AI is one of the best tool categories we've invented. I don't know why people are so pearl-clutchy, fisting-at-clouds about it.

      Some of the worst human behavior I've experienced outside of grade school is the anti-AI crowd sending me death threats and endless streams of insults. It's surreal how twisted and vile the words that some anti-AI people throw are.

      This is the fifth technological wave, after the chip, PC, internet, and smartphone.

      All of human programming cannot do what AI is already showing signs of being capable of automating. Our image and video models can render things even 80 years of optical physics and algorithms cannot do.

      I am legitimately excited in a way I never have been before. We're lucky to be able to witness this.

      Sorry for your cancer.
